Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien has revealed Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson rejected him twice - because he was too small.
Essien, 27, has been in inspired form as Carlo Ancelotti’s side made a perfect start to the season – even helping himself to two goals.
hahaha...i'd love to see how SAF feels now :P
woww just like the daily mail said SIZE ISN'T EVERYTHING! united could have got one of the most complete midfielders in da world
this is bullshit because essien is 5 ft 10 and scholes is 5 ft 7.. why would fergie say he was too small when he was smaller
